[quote=Anonymous]OP just a little info from a mom who has #2 and EBF both but also had baby #2 at home for 8-9 months.

The numerous bottles would irk me unless she was giving a range because trying out different bottles can get expensive. 
With that said, the whole bottle boycott issue can be stressful but also you could have high lipase randomly. My baby took plentiful pumped bottles from 0-3 months while Dad was home on paternity leave and then I nursed her exclusively from 3-8 months. She started daycare around 9 months and started refusing bottles. We couldnt figure it out because she would take the bottle from me sometimes. 
Come to find out I was developing high lipase. I did NOT have high lipase in earlier months. My milk does not smell and its only the aftertaste thats an issue but after 6 months from the tap she wasnt having it. After the whole bottle boycott, we just ended up moving to sippy cups and it has been fine. I also add a bit of alcohol-free vanilla. But realizing it was lipase and not bottle refusal took awhile because there were no problems with previously stored milk.

People are weird about nursing. They just are. If you plan to go beyond a year, you need to learn to just grey rock and not respond. Its seen as a "bad habit" by some instead of nutrition, connection, hydration, etc. [/quote]
